Already doing 10 each way when I'm on a day shift and I go the long route to meet someone to ride in with. Sometimes do a night shift on the bike also.

They don't have enough control over the price to not make a huge loss. Retailer mark up on fuel is only a couple of %. The people who effectively set the price are the taxman and the producer, so as long as fuel is being bought somewhere, the main "owners" of the price won't be affected. So prices aren't likely to drop more than a couple of pence. |

After the goverment take £3.83p tax per gallon for SFA out of a gallon of £6.58 diesel and the producers take £1.83pg out of which they pay their workers, the garage only makes 20plt out of which they have to pay for staff maintenance and other costs. Its no good hitting the garages its HMG thats ripping us off.

As for oil running out, I have read somewhere that the oil compamies are revisiting old empty reserves and finding more oil ???, and its not because oil extraction has improved dramitically.
It always makes me think how can oil the a by product of trees etc rotting over millions of year when it is as deep in the ground as it is. Some experts say oil is a biproduct of the earths core cooling down and the oil is leaching from the earth liquid core. Anyway enough of the science, i couldn't get my golf remapped last weekend. I was told it was myy golf's ecu was a version 16 which is encrypted. This means you have to hard wire the connector onto the ecu chip itself atm which was more expense and also the ecu had to be sent off. bummer. J

The tax on fuel is huge and must be a huge money earner, as it has been pointed out that whatever we do they will not reduce it! in tanker driver strikes we had years ago they would send the army in to seize the tankers and drive them before they would reduce the price. HMG is skint and needs to rape as mutch money out of us as they can

Very true. But in whole, who cares about the retailers? We see those 5p/10p/15p off per litre deals from super markets if we spend so much in store, so they must use fuel as a loss leader. I bet tho if every one used one supplier there would be an even more of a price war, thus making it better, only a small amount. At the other end we could just all boy cott filling up, thus not going any where. I do agree its all the Goverments fault fuel is the price it is. but do we do anything about it??

"I bet" doesn't carry much weight in business, unless you are a stockbroker. And for all the "i need to drive to get to work" people. You'll find that somewhere between 75-85% of you don't. Obv. dependent on where you live/what you do. It's something like 85% of all domestic/commuting car journeys in Europe could be replaced by walking, cycling, bus or train. It won't be long before its cheaper and easier to do that, rather than drive........ |

LOL, If tmro morning everyone who possibly could left the cars parked and started to walk or cycle to work,shops etc the greens would be chuffed to bits......goverment would shit a brick at the amount of lost revenue, and would have to target other things very rapidly...20 fags £25, pint 10quid. and hmmm cycle tax

I may well be wrong...
Diesel used to be cheaper than petrol. This was when there were more petrol cars than diesels. Petrol is now cheaper, but there are more diesel cars than petrol (I think) I have no idea whether it's a tax thing or not.

Same goes for if we all used one supplier, do you think the other suppliers are going to stand about waiting for people to arrive at their forcourt? No, they will reduce and entice business in that way. So what you say on this is total bollocks. You are right by fuel may be blended by one company but with different additives for certain retailers, Shell fuel is different to sainsburys, so it dont matter to the blender where we get our fuel from, but it will matter to the retailer. |

You're right, if I remember Gordon Brown pulled a flanker with company car tax etc etc which made it cheaper to get a diesel car, then when there were loads on the road (and the ex company cars filtered down to private owners) he bumped up the price of diesel and generally pulled our pants down and rogered us

What do you expect guys? We bailed out the banks, principally because they lent too much on housing and in doing so they (the government and the BOE) embarked on a rampant program of money printing (quantitative easing) hence the £ has devalued 40% against the $ since 2008 and we have had 5%+ inflation p/a. Guess what crude oil is priced in?
It's not rocket science is it? There is of course other factors at play here, but really, that is the problem in a nutshell. |

If you are talking about the higher octane or V-Power type fuels, yes, they are different. The only problem is that well over 90% of the fuel sold in europe is boggo forecourt mix. With (despite the advertising) nothing special in it. |
